The Fall of Xiangfan

But after careful consideration, in addition to the opportunity, he is still waiting for someone, a weapon!

This person is called Yisimain, Hui Hui people. He made the most powerful stone throwing tool at that time. At that time, he was called "Huihui Cannon" stone throwing tool at home and abroad, and has it in all eras. In Yisimain's hands, the range and weight of the stone have been greatly improved! What's more, there is also explosive gunpowder hidden in the stones emitted!

Weapons need actual combat inspection! And Xiangyang and Fancheng are undoubtedly the best experimental site!

On January 7, the Southern Song Dynasty Sichuan appeasement envoy Zan Wanshou sent troops to attack Chengdu, the capital of Chengdu Prefecture Road. Yuan general Yan Zhongfan was defeated, and eight others including Wang Shiying abandoned the city and fled. The Southern Song Dynasty recovered the city of Chengdu and destroyed its big city.

On the 0th, the court summoned Ye Mengding to worship the prime minister. Ye Mengding said with his illness, and the envoys rushed to go one after another. As a last resort, Ye Mengding set out with illness and arrived in Shengxian County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Eastern Road, Liangzhe. Ye Mengding wrote a memorial, and did not say hello to anyone, so he went back to his hometown in a small boat. The envoy threatened with good and bad luck. Ye Mengding was righteous and said, "The shame is great, life and death is small, and it is impossible to return." This made Jia Sidao furious and ordered him to retire!

On January 5, 17, the 9th year of Xianchun (17), Esenbuha submitted a memorial: Please build a city in Niutou Mountain in Jiankang Prefecture, Jiangnan East Road, so that it can protect the grain transportation of the Southern Song Dynasty and Huai River. Kublai Khan refused. Esenbuha submitted another memorial: "The Song people built a city in Wuhe. Now, if they don't build it, they are afraid that they will be the first of the Song people." Kublai Khan replied, "Although you say that, if you sit and watch the Song people garrison it, you will be punished."

On the 11th, the Yuan army launched a general attack on Fancheng! First, cut off the floating bridge between Fancheng and Xiangyang, and cut off the reinforcements of Xiangyang City. Then, bombard Fancheng with Hui cannons! Fancheng couldn't support it immediately! Fancheng's guard, Fan Wenhu's nephew, and the commander of Jinghu, Fan Tianshun, sighed to the sky, "I was born as a minister of Song, and died as a ghost of Song" and died of death. Deputy General Niu Fu led more than a hundred dead soldiers to fight in the streets, killing them with blood to quench their thirst. In the end, he was seriously injured, touched the pillar with his head and died of fire! General Wang Fu sighed, "The general died of national affairs, so why should I live alone?" He also went to the fire to death...

Fancheng fell and Xiangyang was in danger!

The news was no longer hidden! On the 1st of the month, the court ordered Zhang Shun, the governor of Yingzhou, to establish a temple in Jinghu, and appointed his two sons as officials. Before that, Lu Wenhuan had already served as Zhang Shun in Xiangyang City and Zhang Gui set up a double temple to worship him.

Now that things have come to this point, Jia Sidao wants to maintain his image as a strong man in military and political affairs, and he can only take the initiative to seek battle!

Jia Sidao applied to go to the front line! He secretly connected with all officials and asked them to write a letter to keep him! He said that the court should not be without Grand Master Jia for a day, and that such a pillar should be used to guard the capital!

This round of political scrutiny is in progress, and Hui artillery has been pushed from Fancheng to outside Xiangyang City! The Mongolians no longer talked to Lu Wenhuan and directly fired the artillery and bombarded the city. It was the lunar month and the weather was cold. The Yuan army "strikes into the arch tower with one shot, and the sound was like thunder. The city was raging, and many of the generals surrendered over the city."

On this day, Liu Zheng came to the city of Xiangyang and persuaded Lu Wenhuan to surrender. Lu Wenhuan did not talk nonsense with Liu Zheng, and secretly ordered the crossbowman to shoot a cold arrow! Liu Zheng was not prepared for being shot on his right shoulder, but fortunately he had armor protection. Liu Zheng was furious and swore to break through Xiangyang and capture Lu Wenhuan alive!

The Yuan army general Ali Hague could not stop it. Ali Hague rode alone to the city of Xiangyang. "You refused to guard the lonely city for five years and promoted the power to the master, which was the right thing to do. However, the situation was poor and the support was gone, and tens of thousands of creatures in the city were only suffering! Our Lord ordered: If you can receive the money, all of them will be pardoned. I hope the general will think twice." Lu Wenhuan was suspicious and Ali Hague broke his arrow and vowed.

On the 7th, one and a half months after Fancheng was captured, Xiangyang's garrison Lv Wenhuan surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty! A Shu led his troops into Xiangyang City, Ali Hague and Lv Wenhuan returned to the capital to meet Kublai Khan's ancestor. Lv Wenhuan offered a plan to attack Ying to Kublai Khan and asked him to serve as the vanguard. Kublai Khan appointed Lv Wenhuan as the governor of Xiangyang!

Xiangyang finally fell after nearly 4 and a half years of persistence! Rather than saying that the enemy is too strong, it is better to say that it is too weak! Not only does it not invest in the national defense, but it also makes itself in chaos and has been in trouble. What else can you say if you fail?

Jia Sidao has something to say! He complained to the idiot emperor, "I have repeatedly asked the commander to go to the border, but Your Majesty does not allow it. If I had heard that I had left, why is it today?" The reputation of a powerful minister was not damaged by this "small matter" at all!

The idiotic emperor believed the truth as always, and he was even more inseparable from the "teacher and minister". From this to that, since the teacher and minister did not care about this "small matter", there is no need to pursue those who were guilty of it?

For example, the surrendered Lv Wenhuan. According to Song Dynasty, the entire Lu family was about to be ruined, and even women were sold as official prostitutes like Liang Hongyu! But Lu Wenhuan's brother Lu Wenfu; the prefect of Jingjiang Prefecture, Lu Wende's son Lu Shikui... are all exempted from punishment and even their official positions remain unchanged! Fan Wenhu, who was extremely guilty, was only symbolically demoted to a higher level of official!

After doing this, the idiot emperor felt that the world was beautiful again and continued to devote himself to the dire bedroom exercise! More than 17 months later, probably because of excessive exercise? So he died?

On the 7th of the month, the Sichuan General Office of the Southern Song Dynasty submitted a memorial, "Liu Zheng's former official Luo Jian came back from the north and brought a volume of Liu Zheng's manuscripts, which contained two strategies for taking Jiangnan: 1. First take all Shu. Shu is flat, and the south of the Yangtze River can be determined; Qingkou, Taoyuan, is the key to the Hehuai River and Huai River, so it is better to first city the land and station the Shandong army in order to make progress." Emperor Song Duzong hurriedly ordered the Huai Dong General Office to go to Qingkou, Chuzhou, and choose a favorable place to build a city to prepare for it.

On the 18th, Kublai Khan accepted Liu Zheng's suggestion and trained 50,000 to 60,000 naval troops. He also built 2,000 ships in Xingyuan Prefecture, Jinzhou, Yangzhou, Kaifeng and other places.

On the 9th, Jia Sidao set up a speed-fast room in the Secretariat of the Secretariat in order to quickly deal with the border defense military situation.

This month, the Tai student Guo Changzi offered six strategies to guard the garrison: divide the guerrillas to station the south bank, return to the gorge to rush forward, prepare the Hubei and Han dynasties to consolidate the upper stream, dispatch elite troops to protect the Han River, prepare the lower stream to prevent spy, and set the passes to prepare for the key points.

This month, Kublai Khan appointed Zhen Jin as the crown prince, and the Secretariat Order was also the chief minister of the Privy Council. He accepted Liu Bingzhong's suggestion and appointed Wang Xun as the crown prince Zanshan and assisted the crown prince.

Xiangfan was lost. The defense line of the Southern Song Dynasty had contracted from the Huaihe River and Han River to the Yangtze River. According to the strength of the Mongolian Navy, it may break through the natural danger of the Yangtze River at any time and approach Lin'an! Jia Sidao was also anxious, and he had to bet almost all the last trump cards! He divided his troops to defend this last safety bottom line!

On April, Wang Lixin was appointed as the commander of Jinghu and the prefect of Jiangling. On the 9th, Zhao Kui's son Zhao Li was appointed as the commander of the commander of the Yangtze River and the left-behind Jiankang. This month, Emperor Duzong of Song issued an edict to commend Fan Tianshun and Niu Fu, who died in Fancheng in battle. He was appointed as the commander of the second son and was given land and gold and silk.

This month, Kublai Khan summoned Yao Shu, Xu Heng, Tu Shan Gonglu and others to ask about the plan of the southern expedition. Tu Shan Gonglu said, "Take on the force of breaking the bamboo to sweep the Three Wus, this is the time." Kublai Khan immediately ordered Shi Tianze, A Shu, Ali Hague and others to go to Jingzhou and other roads to govern the Privy Council, and to defend the Zhengyang. He also issued an edict: There are many fortresses in the south of Xiangyang, so that they can take the opportunity to make progress. He gave 5,000 ingots of money to the soldiers and provide relief to the new military and civilians.

On May 1, Kublai Khan decided to be an internal and external official, restored the old system, and moved every three years old. On May 17, Kublai Khan probably wanted to learn from Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, who was imprisoned, and also issued a similar edict, "The prisoners in the world are imprisoned, except for those who kill people, they must pay their lives, and the rest of the people are all sent home to reunite with their families! Only before August can they be pardoned if they arrive as scheduled."

On the 9th, Emperor Duzong of Song issued an edict, "I will not agree to the matter of asking Prime Minister Jia Sidao to supervise the troops on the front line. The rest will be sent to the express house for handling."

In early June, Zhang Meng, a former senator of the Sichuan Xuanfu Department, issued a letter, Chen Wei's three urgent strategies: lock the Han River port, the Yuquan Mountain in the Dangyang border of the Jingmen Army, and the Yidu of Xiazhou, set up a fortress to protect the refugees, guard and farm. He also drew a map of the situation of the city and villages. However, he was taken by Jia Sidao and refused to report it. Jian Caiwang wrote a letter, saying that there were seven things that were worried about the border affairs, and five people who were urgently supposed to do it. He was also taken by Jia Sidao and refused to report it.

On the 8th, Chen Yizhong submitted a memorial, "The fall of Xiangfan is all due to Fan Wenhu's cowardice, please behead him." But Jia Sidao refused, and only symbolically demoted Fan Wenhu's first-class official and asked him to be the prefect of Anqing Prefecture on Huainan West Road! The censor Chen Wenlong immediately impeached, "This is a reward, not a punishment! In addition, Zhao Li's milk has not yet been exhausted, so why should he take the important task of border defense! Fan Wenhu and Zhao Li should both remove all positions." Jia Sidao was furious and asked Censor Li Ke to impeach Chen Wenlong and dismiss Chen Wenlong as the governor of Fuzhou.

On the other day, Wang Lixin, the Jinghu General Office, submitted a report, "The disaster in Xiangfan is all caused by Fan Wenhu and Yu Xing's father and son! But Fan Wenhu has his nephew Fan Tianshun and unyielding, and may heal his faults less. Yu Xing's slaves were mediocre and took personal revenge, which inspired Liu Zheng to rebel and rebel. He has been poisoned to this day! Please place his son Yu Dazhong for a heavy punishment, and people's hearts can arise and achieve success." Fan Wenhu is the nephew of Lu Wende, and he is very caring for Jia Sidao. Yu Xing has no friendship with Jia Sidao, and Jia Sidao also hates Yu Xing's ignorance and angers Liu Zheng. Therefore, the punishment of Yu Xing was immediately issued: Yu Dazhong was removed from the list and was exiled to Xunzhou on Guangnan East Road!

Chen Zhongwei reported to impeach Jia Sidao, "Only the king and minister have changed their minds, the affairs of the world can still be done." Jia Sidao demoted to the prison envoy of Jiangnan East Road.

This month, due to Liu Zheng and the conflict between the two generals of Ali Hague intensified, Kublai Khan had to divide his army into two, and ordered the two generals to rule them.

In June, Goryeo's governor Xindu led Yuan troops to the Danluo Kingdom and pacified the land. Kublai Khan issued an edict: Appoint Diliba and Yin Bangbao as the chief and deputy Danluo Kingdom to recruit envoys.

Yue, probably because he saw the Yuan army preparing for war, Zhao Liangbi once again came from Goryeo to Dazaifu in Japan, and wanted to make his last effort for peace. But his kindness failed and he was rejected for more than a month. In June, Zhao Liangbi had no choice but to return to Beijing to report. Yuan Shizu summoned Zhao Liangbi and asked in detail about the details of the envoy. Zhao Liangbi said, "I have lived in Japan for more than a year and found that the Japanese people are brave and brave enough to kill them, but I don't know the relatives of father and son, and the rituals of the superiors and subordinates. In addition, Japan's land is barren and has many mountains and rivers. Therefore, the land cannot be rich, and the people cannot be sent to the servants. Moreover, the boats crossed far away, and the wind and waves are unpredictable. Therefore, the conquest of Japan was to devote a limited civilian power to the infinite abyss. I hope Your Majesty will think deeply and take back the holy intention of using troops." But at this time, Kublai Khan had already decided and could no longer listen to Zhao Liangbi's good advice!

Analyze the reason why Japan repeatedly rejected the letter of the Yuan Dynasty. On the one hand, Japan was the martial society in power at this time, and Kublai Khan often threatened with force, arousing their desire to fight for victory. On the other hand, it was directly related to many Southern Song survivors who had traveled to Japan at this time. Since the Qing Dynasty, Japan has had a good relationship with the Southern Song Dynasty and frequent trade exchanges. Japan lacks metal in China, and does not cast copper coins, which all depend on imports from the Southern Song Dynasty. Based on this consideration, how could Japan bow to Mongolia, the enemy country of the Southern Song Dynasty? At this time, facing the Mongolian cavalry who enjoyed the massacre of the city, facing the storm and storm

In the motherland, many Song people chose to come to Japan to live a new life in Taoyuan. Among them, the Southern Song monk Zuyuan, who was respected as a guest of honor by Hojo Toshizo, is a typical example. It is said that when the Yuan soldiers were holding their swords on Zuyuan's neck, he still remained calm and recited Buddha's name to pay homage to the Yuan soldiers, and finally subdued the Yuan soldiers. At that time, the Japanese monarchs and ministers believed in Buddhism very much, so they also trusted monks from the Southern Song Dynasty very much. They believed in the cruelty and cruelty of the Yuan soldiers described by the Song monks. Infected by the anti-Yuan emotions of Zuyuan and others, the actual ruler in Japan, the Kamakura Shogunate, Hojo Toshizo, strengthened his determination to resist the Yuan...

On June 1st, Kublai Khan issued an edict: He ordered the Hanlin Academy to compile the national history and collect the facts of the dynasty for the compilation of the collection.
